Synopsis

In a rent-stabilized apartment dispute, the court dismissed the tenant's claim of rent overcharge based on pre-HSTPA law, rejecting the argument for a two-tier calculation method. The court cites relevant case law, emphasizing that the landlord corrected the overcharge prior to HSTPA enactment and awards attorneys' fees to the landlord.
